Best place to get a sandwich in DC? Near capitol?

Question

I'm looking for a place to get a sandwich quick in DC prefferably within the area of Union Station/Capitol Bulding/Smithsonain??

I know it's a large area but...

Answer 1

Mangialardo's hands down, 1400 block of Pennsylvania Avenue  South East, down on the right side.  All the cops and FBI get their sub sandwiches there, have for almost 50 years.

Make sure you order the G-man on a hard roll with those little Pepporicini Peppers, as a retired d.c. cop I still make trips down there to this day from Northern Virginia, now that you mentioned it, will be going down today for a couple.

Answer 2

Inside of Union Station is a food court in the basement. Here's a few sandwich places

New York Deli

Cajun Grill

Vittorio's

Acropolis

Great Wraps

Upstairs

Au Bon Pain

Near Union

Capital City Brewing Company

Dubliner (Irish Pub)

Answer 3

Subway or Blimpie. Look for your nearest one in a GPS or mapquest.com

Answer 4

This is a little far from the capitol, but the Greek cafe Zorba's in Dupont Circle has a really good Philly cheesesteak.  It was seriously the best I ever had!

Answer 5

The Clyde's restautants are great, Clyde's, 1789, The Tombs, Tomato Palace, Old Ebbitt, all are part of the same place.  Yum!

Answer 6

i went up to DC the other day and actually had a great sandwich in the Museum of Natural History's cafe.  Expensive but it was really good.
